Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) provides hardware acceleration for offloading security,
authentication and compression services from the CPU, thus significantly increasing the performance
and efficiency of standard platform solutions.
Its services include symmetric encryption and authentication, asymmetric encryption, digital
signatures, RSA, DH and ECC, and lossless data compression.
This package provides user space libraries that allow access to Intel QuickAssist devices and expose
the Intel QuickAssist APIs.
